Previous owner invested over $1,300,000 including upgrades, improvements, and recent Awlgrip for entire yacht, M/V Discover offers a buying opportunity for the client looking for a serious bluewater cruiser for rugged environs.

This can-do passagemaker knows full well the capabilities of a Cape Horn Trawler and M/V Discover was created with all these traits and more. Whether on a jaunt to the islands or on a journey of a lifetime, this Cape Horn will nestle its owners in comfort and security.

In addition to safety features like get-home engine, double hull, bulbous bow, bilge keels, bolt in windows with storm covers, M/V Discover is equipped with hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, watermaker, custom swim platform ideal for diving or fishing, and many conveniences for bluewater or coastal cruising.

Current owners purchased M/V Discover in 2013. Subsequent real estate purchases have them land-locked for a while and they are presenting a ready-to-go expeditiont condition vessel in excellent condition currently located near Seattle. Previous owner's cruising included Florida, Bahamas, Caribbean, Central America, and PNW.

Fuel consumption at 8 knts is approx. 8gph for a range of 4000nm; at 7.5 knts range is closer to 5000nm + 1 gph for generator.

Discover's engine room offers a full walkaround work area and stand-up head room. She is equipped with a get-home auxillary engine. Access to mechanical systems is well designed.

Electrical system consists of 12v DC, 110 AC and 220 AC 60 hz sources. Shore power requirements are 50 amp 220 VAC, 60 Hz single phase. Heavy loads are powered by 220 VAC; 110 VAC loads are powered by 2 AC buses trunked thru the two Trace SineWave inverters so that switching is transparent and automatic regardless of the power source (shore, genset, or battery banks). Can sit at anchor for 14 hours from inverter power.

Construction

Construction with safety as foremost priority. Steel fuel and water tanks integral to hull essentially creating a double steel bottom. Steel bilge keels not only provide passive stabilization and stabilization at anchor, but also allow yacht to stand on her own bottom for haulout or beaching for bottom cleaning or inspections, as well as being a critical element for intentional or accidental groundings or in navigational areas with large tide changes.

Discover is a second generation Cape Horn 55. She was built with the emphasis on safety and redundancies for which Cape Horn Trawlers have become world famous. With proven seakeeping capabilities, Discover offers a rare opportunity to purchase a fully founded well equipped yacht with all of the outfitting and ammenities selected by a knowledgable owner.

The first major refit was 2003 when many electronics were added and upgraded; deck railings and stanchions added to upper house deck 2004; interior woodwork refinished 2004; new yacht finish paint 2007. In 2007 the swim platform was extended; the mast and crow's nest were removed and a boom was installed. The second major refit (costing more than $250,000) was in 2011 & 20012 and included new pilothouse helm, new complete Awlgrip paint job, new bearings and seals for prop shaft, and numerous system upgrades. Winter of 2013 refit included approximately $50,000 of improvements in decor and conveniences. Several thousands of dollars worth of spare parts are onboard. M/V Discovery is in loaded and ready to go condition to take her new owners anywhere and everywhere!
